Charolette finally possesses the entire staff- the ancient weapon capable of shifting Annwfn's fate and the tool she has spent years gathering through the leadership trials. But power comes with a terrible price: she can't even use it until she forgives the monster responsible for her pain. After reviving Mortique through the power of Yawn'wess, Charolette is forced to battle the bloodlust of the Immortal curse raging inside her. Every moment becomes a fight to resist Mortique's hunger that is clawing at her mind...and the terrifying urge to become the monster her enemies always claimed she would be. Worse yet, Yawn'wess has fallen silent. Abandoned by the voice that once guided her, Charolette becomes vulnerable to another presence whispering in the darkness- one determined to twist her pain, her fear, and her growing power into something catastrophic. While her allies dismiss the warning signs, a lone Drulend is the only one who believes the truth: something evil has come to either take residence inside her...or destroy her mind in the process. As war looms over Annwfn, the Immortal city offers the team a fleeting season of peace beyond the reach of time itself. For the first time, Charolette begins to love the realm she once feared. She finds healing, forgiveness...and a future worth fighting for beside her husband. But hidden beneath the beauty of the Immortal city, old schemes from the Grand Council are already moving into place that threaten Angus's and Peter's entire race. Because the enemy's greatest victory may not come through war, but through turning Annwfn's last hope against itself.
